Los Mochis to San Carlos
Projected information ~ 6 hours and 300 miles.
Actual was 232 miles in a bit over six hours!
We had a fabulously quiet and relaxing sleep at the Los Mochis RV Park….well worth the 250 pesos. We awoke to the sun coming in the bedroom window.
The girls were eager to get out and explore.
Surprisingly they did not chase the fowl, instead they were being checked out !!
We were on the road by 9:00AM. The first stop today was a new check by the PGR ( Federales ) about 60 km’s before the Sonora border crossing. They were mostly interested in the buses and their passengers. We were happy to have our own private bus.
Carmeh was so relaxed....she puts the true meaning into dash ~ hound!!!!!!!!
It was a quiet a day other than another fruit inspection. This time the fella wanted to come in. Just as he was coming in the girls started to bark….very very loudly! Just as the inspector was coming into the RV, one of his comprades pulled his leg as if he was getting attacked by a dog.!!!!!!!!!! He jumped and clutched his heart! Needless to say the inspection was a farce just as the joke that had been played on him!! He had a good laugh and I found out that avocados are okay but no fruits at all.
There is a brand new Walmart in C. Obregon just as you turn left onto the road to Guasave…..that is if you need another Walmart! While dealing with a police detour ( no idea why ) we had some new perspectives of the city and an encounter.
An encounter with coffins......Colin was dying to catch up to the truck so I could take this photo
Obviously these had been manufactured further south and were being transported north. The workmanship was spectacular. Can you see the gold work in the top left? The rest was in silver and copper with much detail from angels on the corners to various types of handles. Sadly we passed the driver when he experienced an engine breakdown
Too bad we were heading in the wrong direction. I would have loved to get some of these plant pots.
It was a good driving day and once again the only RV we saw was the same couple from Campbell River ! They were also going to San Carlos but were going to boondock on the beach. I was so very very tempted to join them but I did need my internet!
We made great time today….6 hours for 232 miles and the roads were not that great.
While I caught up on our emails and my blog Colin took the girls to the beach.
Apparently the girls were NOT impressed. A real beach does not have them standing ankle deep in stones and shells. It did not take long before they wanted to head back to the RV.
We caught up with Marcia and Ray within minutes of arriving here at Totonaka RV Park. It was great to meet up with them but we are both busy with final preparations before crossing into the US tomorrow. I know we will meet again.
One of the big pluses is that by arriving early, I was able to prepare a fabulous dinner. Of course tomorrow with handing in various paper work and crossing into the US will bring a myriad of challenges….so adios until we are on the soil of the USA.

awww, I’ve always wanted one of those chairs…nice photos
Colin was “dying” to catch up………you are funny Contessa! Safe travels.
Oh funny, your dogs are beach snobs! Actually I don’t blame them!
Lucky those chickens didn’t chase the girls. I could never let my dachsies run loose like that; I’d be a panic stricken mama.
The girls are sooooooo darn cute!
See you in Oct. Travel safe!

It makes me sad that you and Colin are headed home, but I’m sure the time will pass quickly until your next Mexico adventure!
Enjoy the sites and travel safe.
